The choir I'm in is currently doing Summer Breeze by the Isley Brothers. I think it's a beautiful song about ordinary, everyday love - not soppy hearts and flowers romanticism.

Which songs are your favourites?

Forever autumn is also a lovely song.
Gentle on my mind - Glen Campbell.

This song is so beautiful, the music is so beautiful, he is so beautiful, his voice is so beautiful. It's timeless and just touches your soul.
Justin Hayward

For the good times. (I think that's what it's called, and I think it's by Perry Como?)

Written by Kris Kristofferson and recorded by him, by Bill Nash and by Perry Como.

My Mum loved Perry Como.

It's very sad seeing lovely old Freddie, looking so very frail in the video, too.

Annie's song - John Denver.

Oh yes.

And many others on here.

I listened to this one on the car radio the other day. I'm not normally a Julio fan (a bit schmaltzy for me) but thought this lovely:
When You Tell Me That You Love Me by Dolly Parton and Julio Iglesias

Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder

Isn't she lovely?
Isn't she wonderful?
Isn't she precious?
Less than one minute old…

Pure love of a father for his new born child

Oh MissAdventure I cannot listen to Drive by cars after they used it during LiveAid. A memory that haunts me I'm afraid. Beautiful love song though. Also agree Those were the days of our lives

Time In A Bottle by Jim Croce is just beautiful, always brings a tear to my eye, and I love The Long & Winding Road by The Beatles, plus My Love by Paul McCartney.

DH & I have an "our" song , which is The Nearness Of You. We are both sloppy romantics, what can I say!

loopylindy Thu 22-Jul-21 14:55:43
